Chapter 177: The Mussel Group Takes the Pearl

As the bead mussel closes one by one, the original pearl inside intermittently releases dazzling light. These rays attract large groups of marine life.

A fish about 3 meters long flew through the aquatic grass and came to the top of the group of pearl mussels, and saw an opportunity to attack the soft body of a pearl mussel.

In an instant, the two scallops of the pearl mussel closed tightly, clamped the head of the fish, and two tentacles from the inside of the scallop stung the face of the fish, and began to suck the fish's body. In a matter of seconds, a large fish that had been alive and well turned into a withered fish skin and skeleton.

"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, I didn't have the impulse to see Yuanzhu just now." ”

Humans are amazed by the beauty of the pearl, while the animals of the ocean are attracted by the light, nourishment and life energy of the pearl. Although one large fish was eaten by the pearl mussel, the other animals continued to swim like moths throwing fire.

Among the many animals swimming by were three mutant octopuses with sturdy bodies and strange shapes, each with more than a dozen tentacles, each of which was more than 10 meters long. The three octopuses change shape and color, devouring and driving away other sea creatures. Soon, the only large creatures in the originally lively pearl clam area were these three octopuses.

Sensing that it was time to eat alone, the octopuses each chose a mussel with two or more pearls in its possession and began to attack: powerful tentacles broke open the two scallops of the mussels, and then forcibly tore the pearls from the mussel's membrane and swallowed them. The octopus that swallowed the pearl emitted a dazzling light and powerful heat, and even the sea water around them became billowing and surging.

"It turns out that the original pearl is also the crystal nucleus of the pearl mussel, no wonder there is such a strong attraction." Lin Zaishan thought, "For marine creatures, being able to directly swallow the crystals of other animals is undoubtedly a shortcut to evolution. ”

He was about to steal the pearl when an octopus spotted him and instantly jumped up to him, its two tentacles mercilessly entwined.

Lin Zaishan immediately fought back with a beam of qi energy, controlling the octopus's two tentacles. Annoyed, the octopus swooped in on him again, and all the remaining tentacles struck at him. Lin Zaishan was calm and calm, and differentiated more qi energy beams to deal with. The two sides are in a stalemate.

//////

At this time, the helicopter of the Templar on the sea flew by at a low altitude. 008 and two young assistants jumped into the sea and activated the Lucky Spot Aid. The three of them quickly dived to the bottom of the sea.

The two big fish struck 008 on the left and right, and the latter suddenly increased its energy output and dodged the pinch. The two big fish bumped into each other, and both bled out. The blood drew a group of small piranhas, who had been pestering the two young assistants, and the small fish took advantage of the outnumbered fish and began to bite the two large ones. Not to be outdone, the two big fish fought back with their mouths wide open while fleeing quickly.

008 The three of them came to the top of the group of pearl mussels and encountered two huge octopuses, and they immediately fired spearguns, nailing the tentacles of the two octopuses to the seabed. But the two octopuses easily contracted their limbs, got rid of their restraints, and were about to attack them, when they suddenly sensed the signal that the third companion was being attacked by Lin Zaishan, and immediately moved to help.

008 breathed a sigh of relief, secretly shouted that luck was good, aimed at a pearl mussel, fired a harpoon again, forcibly separated the scallops of this pearl mussel, and then pulled out the bayonet on his waist, cleanly cut off the original pearl, put it in his net pocket, and began to float. Two of his companions are attracted to the original bead, and each aims at a target to make a move. The young man was better and faster, and was the first to approach a pearl mussel, but was caught in the arm by the pearl mussel; Another young woman was about to come to the rescue, only to find that the mussel had opened the scallop again, swallowed her companion whole, and then closed the scallop deadly.

The young woman poked the scallops with her spear, but the mussels did not respond. In desperation, she had to give up the rescue and prepare to float. Behind her, a vine silently stretched out, wrapping around the young woman's right leg and pulling it deep into the reef. The young woman clutched the edges of a boulder with both hands and struggled desperately.

//////

At this time, Lin Zaishan was fighting with three octopuses. Not only does the octopus compete with him, but the color of his body is constantly changing, and it emits various rays of light. The colors and glows were apparently hallucinogenic and brought Lin Zaishan into an anomalous dreamscape.

Black and white shadows flashed.

The black shadow said: "Ha, it's a good time to gamble again, I hope our little pet can make us another profit." ”

The white shadow said: "Don't talk nonsense, go directly to the arena." ”

The light flickered, and Lin Zaishan found himself entering the familiar arena that seemed to float in the void again.

A pleasant but indifferent voice in the void said: "Your opponent is three seventh-level aquatic animal octopuses, you have primary privileges and 190 points, do you need to activate the equipment purchase option?" ”

"No, you don't." Lin Zaishan had little interest in the equipment under the primary authority.

"The battle is about to begin, the opponent is in place, please prepare for the battle in time."

The three sturdy octopuses that had just been fighting with Lin Zaishan in the water flashed in front of him and hovered in mid-air. They writhe terrifying and disgusting tentacles in a variety of eerie shapes, while emitting a terrifying glow.

"Start the countdown below, 10, 9, 8,...... 1。 The duel begins! ”

Lin Zaishan had already activated the qi energy beam, and immediately entangled the three seventh-level octopuses, and the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate again; But now Lin Zaishan has already thought of a countermeasure. He perceives that the duel does not simulate the marine environment, in other words, he moves as freely as if he were on land, and the three octopuses float in the air and can move freely as if they were in the sea. The air in the arena — if that's air — is the equivalent of seawater to the octopus, but it's fuel to Lin Zaishan, who activates the ability to gather gas and turn into fire.

"Hulala", a fire was lit and the three octopuses were enveloped.

Lin Zaishan was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he had gained power, but after a while, the fire was extinguished, and the three octopuses were unharmed.

The pleasant but indifferent voice prompted, "Aquatic animals are compensated for their protection from fire damage during duels in the arena. ”

"I'll go! Why didn't you say it earlier? It's been in vain for me to do so much. Do they have any weaknesses? ”

"To get the answer to this question, you need to pay 100 points."

"Forget it, I'll still figure it out on my own." Lin Zaishan changed his way of thinking and thought to himself, "I just learned the domestication ability, why don't you try it?" So he locked on to an octopus with his eyes and began to domesticate it.

The pleasant but indifferent voice prompted, "The domestication skill can only be applied to higher animals. ”

Lin Zaishan asked puzzledly, "Isn't the octopus a higher animal?" They are so intelligent that some people even use them to play tricks. ”

"The answer to this question requires 10 points."

"Forget it, anyway, I don't want to take octopus as a pet, it will scare away beautiful women and children." Lin Zaishan continued to use his brain: "Although the octopuses are immune to fire attacks and domestication, they may not be able to resist freezing attacks. ”

He activates his ability to concentrate and dissolve ice, generating large clumps of ice that freeze the three octopuses. The three octopuses struggled to break the ice ball, and Lin Zaishan then regenerated ice balls to freeze them. In this way, the cycle went on and on for a dozen times, and the octopuses finally died.

"Ding", the pleasant but indifferent voice prompted: "You won this duel, according to the rules of the competition, you were rewarded with 100 points, and you took the opponent's ability for yourself." ”

Lin Zaishan asked, "What ability?" ”

"Transfiguration and camouflage abilities."

"Are they two different independent abilities, or are they two interdependent composite abilities?"

"Belong to the latter."

"In other words, if I want to disguise, I often have to conjure up tentacles, flesh membranes, and other inhuman shapes like mollusks?"

"Yes."

"Forget it, it's disgusting. Can I exchange for another ability? ”

"You can opt for the color-inducing ability instead, which is to hallucinate enemies by changing the skin on your body and emitting different lights."

"Forget it, it sounds kinky and scary too. Are there any other abilities? ”

"Nope. However, you can choose to forgo capturing the opponent's abilities and instead increase your points. ”

"How many points can I exchange it for?"

"100 points."

"Well, let's exchange it for points."

"Congratulations on earning 100 points, you now have level 1 access, 290 points."

"Can I go home?" Lin Zaishan asked impatiently.

"Your herder has arranged the next duel for you, and your opponent is a level 7 mutant electric eel. It's a life-and-death duel, and according to the rules, if you lose, you'll be wiped out completely; If you win, you can take away the opponent's abilities for yourself. ”

"What ability?" Lin Zaishan asked excitedly, what he expected was the ability to discharge.

"You are only entitled to this type of question and answer if you have obtained a higher level of authority or if you have won."

"Alright, let's start the game."

//////

An electric eel with a body length of 20 meters appeared in front of Lin Zaishan, floating in the air, and its body flashed with Zizi electric light.

Soon the countdown ends and the duel begins.

The electric eel instantly approached Lin Zaishan, and although it was entangled by his qi energy beam in time, it still radiated a powerful electric current to hit his body. Under normal circumstances, Lin Zaishan would be electrocuted or even electrocuted, but he had been prepared for this for a long time, and had already switched to a vegetative state before the duel began. In the vegetative state, he takes much less damage from electric shocks; Of course, even so, it was still extremely uncomfortable, the muscles of the whole body were paralyzed, and he almost lost the ability to move freely, and he could only rely on his consciousness to barely fight.

Lin Zaishan activated the ability to gather gas and melt ice, and used the ice mass to freeze the electric eel, but the electric eel casually struggled twice and shattered the ice mass. He tried to subdue the electric eel by dealing with the octopus, but found that the electric eel was only trapped in its movements, and its vital energy was not attenuated by the ice, and its head was constantly firing back at him.

"I'll go! Am I going to be electrocuted into a roast pig if I continue like this? Lin Zaishan generated another wall of ice between himself and the electric eel, temporarily isolating the electric shock, and the body gained time to recover. He cast the domestication ability again, and as expected, the voice reminded him again that the taming ability was invalid.

Lin Zaishan was so uncomfortable with the electric shock, and suddenly an idea popped up: "If you can shock me, can't I shock you?" ”

He patiently waited until his body was free, and then immediately took out the demon rope and the power grid that he had snatched from Feifeng's yesterday from his backpack, and threw it on his head the moment the ice on the electric eel's body melted.

The demon rope automatically entangles the electric eel; The power grid is not only charged but also prickly, and after stabbing the prey, it can be automatically injected with numb-drunk-agent. Fortunately, the electric eel is covered with a thick layer of scale armor, and the net spurs have no effect on it; To Lin Zaishan's surprise, the electric shock attack played a role, at least disrupting the normal working rhythm of the electric eel's body, greatly reducing its discharge ability; Coupled with the circuit setting of the bundle rope and the power grid, the electric eel will actually be charged to itself every time it discharges.

"Wow", Lin Zaishan pulled out a double knife that he hadn't used for a long time, and used his speed ability to slash 36 times in an instant on the electric eel.

The evolution direction of the electric eel is mainly in the electric shock ability, speed ability and perception ability, and Lin Zaishan controlled the speed ability of the electric eel through freezing and gas energy beams, and disrupted the electric eel's own discharge mechanism with the electric shock device. In fact, all sea creatures duel in this situation will inevitably be suppressed by Lin Zaishan's ability to gather gas and melt ice, and electric eels are no exception.

Once the ability is targeted and restrained, the electric eel will become defenseless.

"Bang dang", the huge head of the electric eel fell to the arena, and Lin Zaishan won again.

A "ding" prompt sounded, "Congratulations on winning the duel." According to the rules of the duel, you have earned 100 points and captured the power of the level 7 electric eel for yourself. ”

"Is it the ability to discharge?" Lin Zaishan asked excitedly again.

"Yes, you've gained the ability to discharge." The pleasant, but cold voice replied decisively.

"Yay!" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but cheer. Among all the abilities, he is most fascinated by the ability to discharge. Last night, Feifeng also said that he would electrocute him on the outside and tender on the inside, and he would easily turn his opponent into a barbecue skewer, which was a bit too much for Lin Zaishan; But think about how easy, cozy, chic, and eye-catching it is to electrify your hated foe with a single move.

Lin Zaishan immediately mobilized the energy in his body and sent electricity from his hands to hit an elven mist in the arena, and the latter fled to the corner as if flying.

"Can I call you Brother Cold?" Lin Zaishan asked the pleasant but indifferent voice.

"My name is CECX-1." The voice replied.

"This name is too difficult to remember, it's better to remember Brother Cold. It's decided, I'll call you Brother Bing Leng in the future. Lin Zaishan said with a smile, "Brother Leng, is there a duel?" ”

"You've completed all of this duel mission, and you're ready to leave." Brother Bing replied.

//////

The light flickered, and Lin Zaishan returned to the black and white shadow.

"We've made a small profit this time, and it's time to think about arranging a more difficult duel next time." The dark shadow said.

"The noble man was quite dissatisfied with our arrangement, saying that we were deliberately causing trouble." White Shadow said.

"We just need to push this on Trialist 99, this guy did beg us to arrange a series of bets for our pets to level up and evolve."

"If our ranch were counting on a garbage character like 99, it wouldn't have much future."

//////

A strong electric light emanated from Lin Zaishan's body, striking a pearl mussel, which died instantly, and the two scallops opened automatically, revealing the original pearl shining inside.

Lin Zaishan suddenly woke up from his dream and found that the three octopuses he had been fighting with had all died, and there was the body of a sturdy electric eel beside him.

"Did I really get the power of electric shocks?" Lin Zaishan, who was eager to try, adjusted his breathing and thoughts, and made an attack on a bead clam with both hands, and two lightning bolts shot out from his palm, hitting the bead clam that he was aiming at. The mussel was immediately electrocuted.

Lin Zaishan took several huge pearls with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters from the scallops of the two dead mussels, stuffed one into a backpack, and packed the rest in a large nylon net pocket, put it on his back, and was about to float, but he noticed that the plane in Zhongcheng was hovering on the water, and a large manipulator with a monitoring device hung down. Since this manipulator is inanimate, various sea creatures choose to ignore it during the drooping process.

Soon, the robot reached into the group of pearl mussels and aimed at a pearl mussel with open scallops to launch a surprise attack, but was caught by the latter. The manipulator couldn't struggle out, so he simply embedded the mutant mussel, and then pulled it directly upward, dragging the large pearl mussel weighing at least a few hundred kilograms to the surface.

"I'll go! Is this kind of phishing operation okay too? Lin Zaishan was shocked.

He was sighing, and suddenly found that the white light flashed again, and the little fat man Gao Dawei appeared at the bottom of the sea not far away, and then the white light flashed again, and Gao Dawei came to the pearl clam group.

Zhiyang Yang reminded in Gao Dawei's headphones: "The pearl mussel will clamp people, don't put your hand directly into it, first throw the ball I made to the pearl mussel, and then take the pearl after it swallows the ball." ”

Gao Dawei saw the opportunity and threw the ball into the two scallops of the pearl mussel, and the ball immediately expanded, stretching the scallops of the pearl mussel open, revealing the original pearl inside. Tall and great, he pulled out the dagger and was about to cut off the original pearl, but he was bitten by the tentacle straw of the pearl mussel on his arm, and he immediately rushed to the whole body and was numb and couldn't move.

Lin Zaishan saw it really on the side, and instantly swam to Gao Dawei's side, took off the original pearl for him, then cut off the straw of the pearl mussel, and then used the plant ability to suck off the toxins in Gao Dawei's body, and then stuffed the original pearl to him.

Gao Dawei excitedly gestured to Lin Zaishan, meaning to say, "I will use my space spanning ability to take you ashore." ”

Lin Zaishan noticed that there were still people nearby at this time, so he hurriedly signaled Gao Dawei to go first. Then he swam quickly behind a boulder and saw a young female Templar struggling under the pull of an aquatic man-eating vine, apparently on the verge of exhaustion.

Lin Zaishan immediately swam to her side, slashed the vines with a single sword, and then floated up at full speed, jumping out of the water with a thud, and swimming back to shore in a few dozen seconds, by which time the female Templar was unconscious. Lin Zaishan was about to inject a stream of life energy into her body along the palm of her hand, but the Templar member did not wake up.

"Huh? Could it be because of the lack of artificial respiration? Lin Zaishan immediately controlled the sea water for her, and then pinched her nose and was about to blow mouth-to-mouth, when the female member suddenly woke up. When she saw Lin Zaishan like this, she thought she was going to kiss her, and immediately exclaimed: "It's rude! ”

Lin Zaishan was also so frightened that he jumped up, thinking: "Being misunderstood and indecent in front of so many people is not a small crime, and he was also seen by his suspected girlfriend He Annie......"

At this time, He Annie, who had confirmed the success of the pearl extraction, was really looking over here with concern.

"If Annie He treats me as her suspected boyfriend, and then sees me 'bullying' this little girl with her own eyes, there will definitely be serious troubles." Lin Zaishan glanced at the female member of the Templar who was sitting on the ground, soaking wet, revealing the curves of her sexy body, and staring at her with highly guarded and frightened eyes, and suddenly felt a hot brain, took out a primordial bead and stuffed it into her arms, and said, "Dear eldest sister, I will give you a primordial bead, don't accuse me of indecent deeds, that's it." Bye! ”

The female member stared at the gleaming primorb, and immediately petrified.

Lin Zaishan breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran away. The female member stood up, holding Yuan Zhu in one hand and waving desperately at Lin Zaishan with the other, shouting, "I'm not the eldest sister, I'm just over 20 years old." ”

//////

Lin Zaishan quickly ran to Cao Dacheng and asked, "City Lord Cao, can we Guicheng offer you pearls now?" ”

Cao Dacheng had been itching for a long time when he saw the large original pearls brought by 008, He Annie and Gao Dawei from a distance just now, but he knew that these three forces would definitely have to be taken back and studied before offering the pearls at the last moment. At this time, seeing that Lin Zaishan was going to offer pearls, he was overjoyed, and immediately agreed: "No problem!" ”

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Lin Zaishan took out the largest original pearl from the net pocket on his back and handed it to Cao Dacheng. The latter immediately took it impatiently and began to play greedily.

The representatives of Gancheng and Shencheng, who failed to take the pearls in front, surrounded them and asked Lin Zaishan: "Chief, can you sell us the excess original pearls, we are willing to pay a high price." ”

At this time, Brother Hong had already come to him and shook his head at Lin Zaishan to signal not to betray.

Lin Zaishan asked, "What price are you willing to pay for these original pearls?" ”

Feng Yuming, a representative of Shencheng, said: "I saw one of this kind of original pearls in Shencheng not long ago, and the price sold on the black market at that time was about 100,000 crystals per kilogram. ”

Lin Zaishan secretly exclaimed, but remained silent on the surface, "Any of these original pearls in my bag are close to 10 kilograms, which means that the price is about 1 million crystals, can you afford it?" ”

"Let's count it as one million crystals." Feng Yuming pleaded, in fact, the price of Shencheng he quoted just now was the number after the reduction. "Although I don't have that much cash with me, we can exchange it for equivalent materials, equipment, or ability cultivation methods."

Meng Bu, a representative of Gancheng, said: "I also think the same way. ”

Lin Zaishan thought to himself: "After I completed the task of taking the pearls, I still have 3 crystals in my pocket of the light net, even if I sell 2, I still have more than 1." It is not a gentleman to have money and not to make money. He immediately said, "Yes." You've all seen my original pearls, so please take out the equivalent to be exchanged. ”

Feng Yuming and Meng Buxian were overjoyed, immediately summoned their subordinates, and then began to collect high-priced equipment, collectibles, and abilities.

Brother Hong leaned into Lin Zaishan's ear and said, "We can obviously be ahead of them, but now we sell the original pearl to them, won't everyone return to the same starting line?" ”

Lin Zaishan smiled: "Didn't you find out? Yuanzhu is a hot potato, and even a fool can see its extraordinary value. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever owns the original pearl will become the target of public criticism. If we sell them a few original pearls, we can distract us from the attention and hatred we attract, and we can also make a lot of money, so why not? By the way, half of the income from selling raw pearls is you. ”

"Isn't that good? I haven't done anything, and I'm not doing anything. Brother Hong said.

"If you feel that I am still a friend worth making, you can rest assured and boldly 'share the spoils' with me, and find an opportunity to help me two more in the future, do you still doubt that you don't have the ability to help me?"

"Well, I'm not going to be polite to you; But let me declare first, I will use your money to open an industry, and the loss is mine, if you earn half of the shares. ”

At this time, Feng Yuming and Meng Buxian had already prepared the exchange and invited Lin Zaishan to come to the acceptance.

"2 million crystals, definitely worth 2 million yuan before the end of the world" Lin Zaishan smiled at Brother Hong: "Brother, I have lived a life of dicks, and now I am finally mixed into a millionaire." Let's take out the style of local tyrants and have a good time. ”
